Read MoreSen. Dan Sullivan and Rep. Nick Begich the Third have had nothing to say about Donald Trump’s latest ill-conceived attack on our Canadian neighbors.
The two candidates should be calling on Trump to stop destroying the relationship with our nation’s most important ally.
Because of our location, no state has a more important reason to maintain good relations with Canada than Alaska. You think Trump ever gets that message from Sullivan and Begich?
